Amy Winehouse Found Dead (Amy Winhouse Dies at 27)

British singing sensation Amy Winehouse has been found dead.  The singer renown for her haunting vocals and beehive hair was only 27.

The story of Amy Winehouse is a tragedy of young talent and promising career consumed by the vices of drug addiction.  Amy Winehouse’s most popular song, Rehab, was about her addiction to drugs, alcohol and forelorn love to overcome many obstacles in her life.

Through the years we watched Winehouse deteriorate and wondered how much longer could the frail bodied woman continue her drug binges without great harm.  Sadly, and before she could be reached for healing, she is now dead.

A London police statement said:  ”Police were called by London Ambulance Service to an address in Camden Square NW1 shortly before 16.05hrs today, Saturday 23 July, following reports of a woman found deceased.

“On arrival officers found the body of a 27-year-old female who was pronounced dead at the scene.

“Enquiries continue into the circumstances of the death. At this early stage it is being treated as unexplained.”

While foul play or self-harm could be involved, considering the track record of Winehouse and her age, it would not be surprising if drugs are involved in what is really a sad story and tragedy.

Young folks, stay away from the drug scene.  It is full of seedy, dangerous characters and a substance that will lead you to do depraved things.  I would know.  Here is one of Winehouse’s performances of a really good and well performed song.  Note that she is singing this live.

      • National grief? There shouldn’t be national grief over the death of a drug addicted singer. I noticed that you guys didn’t even report on Norway. And my comment wasn’t meant to be taken as a jab at her. I truly believe, in all seriousness, that it was only a matter of time before she died. I recall several years ago my friend, who was a huge fan of her music, that she was going to die very, very young.

          How can you be so cold, Claire? Because you think no one will care for passing of another, even yourself, unless it is connected to something like what happened in Norway?

          That is a little disturbing. And as far as the Norway story, you’ve posted stories before, why didn’t you post one yourself?

            The last time I tried to post an article it never showed up, leading me to believe that I have been blocked from doing so.

          Claire, how can you be so insensitive? And this does not even make any sense?
          “I recall several years ago my friend, who was a huge fan of her music, that she was going to die very, very young.”’

          You are officially the most inhumane and illiterate person I have ever encountered. I came here to mourn the loss of a great Jewish singer as I am Hebrew also. But you are the reason people persecute the Jews.

  • What’s really sad is that now we’ve lost another talented American convert singer to drugs, the media who profited so much from her vocals is now just laying it on thick, ripping on her appearance and just being plain nasty and mean. Who are these people?

    Remember, that every person who dies from drug addiction was once the child of someone. And most likely, have family and friends who grieve them. We only new her on stage. But this is the face her mother and father, her family, know and remember in memory.

    That was the child someone raised to be ‘our’ Amy Winehouse. That little face now will rot and because she was turned to drugs. Puts it in a different perspective, doesn’t it? Really sad and what a horrible media we have these days.

    “This is all necessary because Amy Winehouse is popular in the college scene and these kids sometimes mistake Winehouse’s deviance as a symbol of independence, when it is really just a lifestyle that leads to getting attacked while passed out by gangs of crack dealers or even worse, disease, prostitution and then death.” – Abe Goodman, August 4, 2010 2:07 pm

      • You are not being a very nice person. Are you saying that any person under the age 20 who is addicted to drugs is going to die by 30? She was just another girl with access to a substance and lifestyle that you have no idea can do to a person. And for you to sit there and condemn her to death, when there are those who would have helped her fight this addiction and there are living testaments of people who fought the same battle she did to say otherwise, you are a very horrible person.

        • Shall I remind you of this quote of yours, Adam?

          “The Haitians did turn their backs on God and chose to worship Satan by making voodoo their national religion. If I were God I would have cast a sickness like Bubonic plague on them before the earthquake, just so they would suffer more and perhaps repent of their sins.”

          from “Christian Prayer Forces Atheist Richard Dawkins to Close RichardDawkins.Net Forums”

          Yet you’re not a horrible person? I beg to differ.

          • I was talking about the slumlords that rule Haiti. If you spent any time there, you would know EXACTLY what I meant. During my year of world travel and practicing medicine in third world nations, I met a Haitian national who had done work there after receiving his accedidation in the US. The horrors he described and the imagery rip at my mind. There is nothing rigth about that country and he warned me myself to not volunteer to go there. You cannot understand how messed up it is there, there is a reason why it is considered the most poor, dire and dangerous nation.

            And at that, this has nothing with remembering Amy Winehouse.

    My favorite album is “Frank”. This was before Back in Black. Track 12 “Amy” is heavy on the double bass and she uses her talent like a musical instrument. This is how I want to remember her gift, singing about the frustration of a relationship with honesty and playful humor with a finger snap and the vocalized punctuation of an artist.

        Claire, I understand if you find our opinions objectionable from time to time. We get it. We aren’t mainstream Christian. But to disrespect somebody who has passed just so you can continue to be the naysayer on this site is dipping too low.

        Like hating our Hebrew brothers and sisters? Claire, if there are more important things, why is bashing this among them? You’ve spent quite a bit of time commenting on your psychic abilities to foretell the death of others and complaining that everyone else isn’t having discussions you deem worthy.

            Now that stung, Claire. I don’t want people to believe in me, just in a Holy savior that defeated death. I know you don’t agree, but I can still care about you. I’m not looking to convert you, just let you know how special you are and that what you contribute is important. So instead of seeking attention by shouting out “I told you so!” you can let your light shine by expressing yourself in a constructive way.

            Amy’s passing is worthy of our grief. You are worthy of attention as well.

  • Comment thread aside, I want to thank you for treating this subject with respect. When I saw Christwire had published an article about A. Winehouse, I feared that the satire would be so offensive so soon that I’d have to unsubscribe.

    I was not particularly a fan of the woman, myself. Her single was groovy for what it was, but not my genre of preference…nonetheless, it is WAY too soon to start making fun; cause of death can be presumed, but is not yet proved, and that wouldn’t matter in any case. Real people who are still alive will grieve her passing for a long time to come, and they deserve respect, even if you don’t think the woman herself does….did…

  • I agree with all things Claire said. The team of Christwire is just a shit. And yes, it’s sad for Amy but it’s all her fault. She went to rehab so many times and she never wanted to take it seriously, or accepted to get some help. I knew that she would finish like that. You remember her last shows ? She was drunk and took drugs everytime, even on stage. People stop like her, so I think she was very depressed. Anyway, it’s sade but it’s life. Well, her dead now.

    You guys are reactionary morons. Claire is not being anti semetic. If Amy was gay, and Claire was making these comments, she wouldn’t be being homophobic either. If Amy was a vegan, Claire’s comments wouldn’t be anti-vegan. She mentioned nothing about Amy’s Jewish heritage, sexual preferences or diet. All she said was that a drug addict dying was an unsurprising development.
